England forward Michelle Agyemang has confirmed she has ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament and will miss the rest of the season.
The 19-year-old was carried off on a stretcher after going down with an off-the-ball knee injury during the Lionesses’ 3-0 win against Australia on Tuesday.
Agyemang, who is on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion from Arsenal, had only been on the pitch for 13 minutes after being brought on as a second-half substitute.
“[I’m] disappointed that results show a torn ACL,” she wrote on Instagram., external “I am so grateful for all the kind words and support from everyone.
“Recovery starts now, I will be back stronger than before.”
